I haven't been in the now-closest Borders to me (the closest one, that had a huge SciFi-Fantasy section was closed down a couple years ago) in a few months, but the last time I was there, they only had empty boxes of the Sony Reader on display - they had apparently removed the test one (which never worked every time i tried it).
None of the Borders in my area are well-situated for walk-in traffic. They're usually at the end of stretch of buildings or across the street from the mall, etc. None of their cafes seem to do the business that the ones in B&N do. Also they're not reader friendly - no comfy chairs, etc. I can't see where Build-A-Bear is going to boost their walk-in traffic that much.
